NSF 49 Biosafety Cabinets Field Certifier Accreditation Program

Allometrics is now an NSF approved testing site!

What is NSF 49 Biosafety Cabinets Certifier Program?

The NSF’s biosafety cabinets accreditation program is the gold standard credential for individuals who certify Class II biosafety cabinets in laboratories, hospitals, and research facilities in North America.

The program requires candidates to complete both written and practical examinations along with continued education. Students desiring to test for certification will also need to complete a 12-month apprenticeship class.

Following initial accreditation, field certifiers must provide pertinent equipment calibration documentation at the beginning of each year.

Reaccreditation is needed every five years. The process can be done either through the accumulation of enough requalification units (continuing education) or through re-examination.

Allometrics is one of only a handful of facilities in the United States that is recognized as an NSF approved testing site.

As a recognized NSF 49 Biosafety Cabinet Field Certifier testing site, we’ve set up a state-of-the-art testing room within our facility. The testing room will be available to impart three or four certification classes a year along with the subsequent NSF field certifier accreditation test.

TESTIMONIALS

This was our facility’s first encounter with Allometrics. From the time we made the first phone call the experience was a very positive one. Jaden assisted with expediting service. Communication was great. Leif arrived as scheduled was friendly and efficient. He explained the process and test results and assisted our staff in ordering the correct filters needed to complete the certification process. He also followed up with us to ensure that when a second visit was required that was well coordinated. Based on our experience, we would recommend Allometrics without reservations.
